Welcome! I am the mother of four young children, an artist, and the wife of a firefighter in Northern California. Grab a beverage, pull up a chair, and come play at my house!
I have not yet introduced my child to a slip n slide. I admit it is due in part to my own nefarious adventures with one involving pudding. Long story. But this, this looks fun!
Once when I was a little kid our entire town (which was around 100 people and maybe 15 of them were kids) made a giant slip and slide out of a huge 100 foot tarp. We took two hoses from two houses and put them at each corner of the top of the tarp, laid it on a huge hill, and then lathered it with about four bottles of all our mother's dish soap.
There were dozens of injuries resulting, but it was AWESOME.
I just hate doing that to my lawn! I didn't do a slip and slide this year. We stuck to putting the sprinkler under the trampoline. It makes a big enough mess of the yard already.

Slip and slides are awesome!

Jen- You've just made me want to find a big hill, a tarp, some class A foam and my fire engine....I'll be sure to post pics if I can pull it off.
Oh looks so much fun to do.. ofcourse poor lawn but the fun quotient beats it :-D
Oh geez, your lawn, Lol. Slip and slides are fun but the disaster they leave behind is a headache. :-) Looks like they had fun though so that counts!
Looks like fun.
I loved slip and slides as a kid! This just brought back so many fun memories! :)
Looks like they're having a great time. Wish I could go down a slip and slide. Did you try it out? Thanks for following my blog. Following you now.

Looks like your kids are beating the heat!
Just remember that you are raising children and not grass! Looks like fun.
Looks like they had a ball!! Hope and pray all is well and wishing you a Gr8 day!
My lawn has finally recovered! Time to take out the slip n slide again. :)
